This week’s featured student is Hala Sura, an industrial engineering major from Bartlett, Tennessee.
Sura did three co-op rotations with Georgia Power Company—A Southern Company. She worked in the Metro East and South Technical Sales department in charge of analyzing commercial and industrial load information to size transformers. The atmosphere was welcoming and she was able to relate to the other employees not just as a student.
Sura learned how to read mechanical, electrical, and plumbing plans and learned to look further to find answers to questions not just assume where you think it is. She also learned numerous professionalism skills and team building skills that she will be able to take back to the classroom. Sura gained value on seeing what was important to her by being able to coop while in school.
